Sophia's POV:
(Coming here was definitely the right choice)
I thought, satisfied that my efforts have bore fruit.
By coming here I have already expanded my horizons greatly, I've learned a great many things about the general situation in most of the central territories of the empire, how the great archdukes tend to run their land and the general effectiveness of it. I've been taught multiple things by looking at every history book I can get my hands on, but as I suspected, listening to the ones actually doing the things mentioned in the books is the best.
I learned much about the things the various ducal houses specializes in as well as their quirks, I couldn't learn anything about the deficiencies in their respective way in running things since as nobles we are taught not to show weakness even for a little bit but I'll figure that out once I visit their territories myself.
